Seriously, how does the mother enroll her child in a musical theatre program and take offense at the teacher’s lifestyle without realizing the play itself is about gay characters? How does she not realize that a huge portion of theatre people are gay or bi? It’s not even shocking at all in that world, it’s just part…

It’s possible to get Duck Hunt to work on some modern televisions; the technique it used for detecting hits mostly relies on timing. If the frame shows up on a flatscreen monitor in less than 16ms (so, a very fast refresh rate monitor) the light gun should be able to pick it up. It’s looking for a particular color to…

The really weird thing is, bootcamp *is* supported by Apple, but only for upgrades. The official way to run Windows 10 in bootcamp involves installing 7 or 8 first, performing the upgrade (from within bootcamp already at this point), then allowing bootcamp to update itself from within windows. Only then will it…

As a musician in college, our professor once had us book a performance in the cafeteria at the school. We got up there on stage, sang our hearts out, and pretty much nobody cared one bit. The entire cafeteria ignored us, and it was obvious the ones who wanted to listen couldn’t possibly hear the choir over the bustle…

This should still reduce a lot of the friction. One of the most frustrating elements in League right now is the pre-game banter during champ select. Many an argument start here and snowball into extreme toxicity during the game proper, as the more arrogant players have their “fears confirmed” with every setback.

This falls apart a little bit if any of the opposing members own nearly all of the roster, but the feature’s handy for the 90% of other games you’ll end up in. :)

And Cheeksqueak is why.

I was pleasantly surprised by this. I expected them to still exclusively use Nintendo accounts in the interest of being family friendly, but then again, the prevailing message for the younger kids (< 13yo) seems to be for parents to keep them off the internet entirely.

No, I don’t think that’s what he means. There are several virtual console titles that are available for purchase on the old Wii, the new Wii U, or the 3DS. Same game, same exact experience, ported to different consoles. If you purchase that game on one system right now, you have to purchase it *again* if you want to…

I’m a completionist, so I’m going out there trying to finish all the heart quests and little side jobs. I’m out-leveling most of the areas *easily,* without trying, because there’s just so much to do, and I enjoy doing nearly all of it.

A friend of mine was working on something similar to this for a while. I’m hesitant to use Perch itself because I can’t find the source code. Does anyone know of an open source utility that is similar? This is just a great idea for old hardware that might otherwise not have any use.

If you’re poor, you really *need* to learn basic cooking skills. This link right here:

Dear Nintendo:

I personally think paid mods is a great idea! I just don’t think Skyrim was the right game to launch that idea with, *especially* not so many years after its modding scene had become established. Skyrim was already waaaay too invested in being an open modding scene, with people borrowing each others works, and not…

I think the problem is really us. Where do we get off requiring a steady stream of updates? I don’t think he should have gone all cold turkey, but he also doesn’t have to release something every week. Or even every month. They’re a pretty small team; l’m amazed they’ve made all the progress that they have.

I feel like that’s kind of the point. These mistakes *feel* like rookie mistakes because quite frankly, they are. The original design team wasn’t perfect of course, and no game really is; the realities of time investment and development costs mean that you won’t get all of these points right all the time. But for…

You are not a monster: Super Mario Sunshine is one of the harder games in the series, not helped by its finnicky platforming controls. I love the game, but I’ll also freely admit that it would have benefited from a lot more polish.

I can confirm this. This is a required practice on Xbox Live Arcade for any publishing whatsoever (I developed for it for a College project which never went anywhere) and I’d imagine also a requirement for retail games on the console. Many, *many* games are platform agnostic at the start of their development cycle,…

Man, I played the *crud* out of that game, and I only had the demo disc version from I think Pizza Hut? It ran out after a timer, and I got good enough at it to play all the way through quickly and run out of demo content, which was harder than it sounds. (The timer was pretty short, and would kick you out about…

I still feel like it’s irresponsible to stream during a league game with a connection that can’t handle it. Especially if you’re going to then complain about the Lag that it causes.
